Navigating Boundaries - The Rhetoric of Women Governors (Hardcover)

Marshall, Mayhead, and their contributors explore the discourse
women use to negotiate political boundaries. The analysis, based on
the study of five governors-Nellie Tayloe Ross, Martha Layne
Collins, Ann Richards, Barbara Roberts, and Christine Todd
Whitman-illustrates that women bring issues of caring, empowerment,
family, and inclusivity to the office. These issues contrast
sharply with traditional male-centered ideologies and give renewed
vigor to a revised moral point of view in contemporary politics.
The essays also demonstrate that women governors must still work
within the traditional societal constructs for women. Yet, at the
same time, they need to create new paradigms that redefine women's
roles and exemplify that woman's place is in the private sphere and
the public political arena. The work examines the common obstacles
these women faced despite differences in era, political
affiliation, geographic location, and ideologies. Simply by being
elected, each woman operated within a public/private sphere duality
she struggled to overcome. Each woman recognized that she needed to
craft appropriate rhetorical strategies to succeed in office while
not abandoning the unique values and perspectives she brought to
the statehouse. The essays contend that women serving in the
governorship resculpt the face of the office, restructure the
political landscape, and redefine women's roles. The volume will be
of particular value to students and scholars dealing with issues of
public address and rhetorical criticism, women's communication,
political communication, and women in politics.
